The default version is disappointing, but this doesn't mean it's not usable and if you know CSS you can definitely give it some style. Not sure where to start with the CSS, check out our article on using the Chrome tool, Inspect.
We hope in future releases the devs add some improvements to the design and style of these two layouts. We also hope they give some flexibility to those who aren't comfortable using CSS to make some color changes as well. Another improvement we would love to see is an easy way to find and add the appropriate shortcode. As of right now, we've only found this on the devs site and nowhere else. This should definitely be added somewhere within the plugin settings area.
Again, all is not lost though when it comes to the overall look of the default calendars. With a little CSS you make it look A LOT better. Scroll down to see what we are talking about. If you're wondering how we achieved this look, take a look at our tutorial: Owning the Sugar Events Calendar with CSS.
Conclusion
When you take an overall look at the Sugar Events Calendar, you can see a masterpiece in the works. You can see a lot of thought has been placed on the back end with the creation of events as easy as possible. You can see they are in a forward progression with their calendar plugin that will easily shake up the event calendar world. For the pricing, you can't beat it....especially the lifetime unlimited license.
So even with a few things we think need to be improved, we recommend you trying this calendar plugin out and even buying it. Honestly this will be added to our web design tool belt for future client projects.
